Never use cleaning agents contain-
ing abrasive substances such as
sand, soda, acids or chemical sol-
vents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that no water can pene-
trate into the electronic unit or into
the ventilation gaps.
Never use steam cleaning appara-
tus to defrost or clean the appliance.
The steam could attack the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
The data plate located on the appli-
ance must not be removed. It con-
tains information which is required in
the event of a service call.
^
Clean the appliance immediately af-
ter defrosting.
^
The appliance must be switched off,
the frozen food stored in a cool place
and the accessories removed.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little wash-
ing up liquid. Wash all accessories by
hand. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
^
After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
the interior and accessories with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the lid open to air the appli-
ance for a short while.
E-Cloth
^
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts De-
partment, Part Number 980 13530,
which is suitable for cleaning sur-
faces such as stainless steel, glass,
plastic and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Ventilation gap
^
Dust the ventilation gap regularly with
a brush or vacuum cleaner. A
build-up of dust will increase energy
consumption.
Freezer lid seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
seal as these will cause the seal to
deteriorate and become porous with
time.
The seal should be cleaned regularly
with clean water and then wiped dry
with a soft cloth.
After cleaning
^
Close the lid and insert the mains
plug in the socket and switch on.
^
Switch on the super freeze function
so that the freezer can achieve the
required temperature quickly.
The indicator light will come on.
^
Once the temperature has reached
the required temperature place the
frozen food back in the freezer.
^
Switch the super freeze function off
again as soon as -18 °C is reached.
The indicator light will go out.
